Natural History

The Society was founded in 1955 by the notable local archaeologist and historian Miss Marion Campbell of Kilberry. The Society organises a series of monthly talks over the winter on wildlife, archaeology and history topics of mainly local interest. The meetings are held in Lochgilphead at the Community Centre on a Thursday evening and visitors are welcome. During the summer a series of outings is organised to wildlife or historical sites, mainly local but also further afield. In addition every summer, a week-long trip for members to a centre of interest is undertaken. Recent visits have included a number of Scottish islands and Ireland. A journal, The Kist, is published twice a year, containing a range of articles of local interest. In addition, members have access to the Society’s library at Kilmartin House Museum.
